See Inside Sandringham House, Site of Royal Family Summit | The Prince's official and principal residence was Malborough House in London, but it was felt that he should also have a private house well away from the city, so that Sandringham Days: The Domestic Life of the Royal Family in Norfolk could enjoy the benefits of a country life. The house at Sandringham that The Prince bought was built in the second half of the eighteenth century by Cornish Henley, whose wife's family had owned for a hundred years. Henley had earlier demolished an existing house, and in its place he erected a plain but comfortable Georgian structure with a stucco exterior, slate roof and small gables on either front. As The Prince's family grew, and the demands for hospitality increased, more space was needed and a new building was commissioned. Designed by A. Humbert in the Jacobean Style, with brick walls, stone dressings and gabled roofs, it was completed in The only part of the old house to survive was the conservatory, which was converted into a billiard room. In The Prince added a ballroom and in a conservatory designed Sandringham Days: The Domestic Life of the Royal Family in Norfolk Colonel R. Edis, a Norfolk architect. In Novemberwhen the house was being prepared for the celebration of The Prince's fiftieth birthday, fire broke out. Fourteen rooms on the upper storeys were completely destroyed, others Sandringham Days: The Domestic Life of the Royal Family in Norfolk and the lower storeys affected by water. After the fire, the house was repaired and a new suite of bedrooms, designed by Colonel Edis were added. The Royal Family have since continued to enjoy spending time at Sandringham and looking after its estate and 24 hectare garden. The Queen inherited Sandringham from her father in and The Duke of Edinburgh took overall responsibility for its management. One of His Royal Highness's principles has been to maintain the estate for future generations, so conservation has always been an important part of the Estate's management practises. Currently over people gain a living from the Estate, including farmers, foresters, gamekeepers and gardeners. The gardens Sandringham were first opened to the public by King Edward VII in and have been extensively altered since In the s the original lake to the west of the House was drained, filled in and planted with elaborate formal parterres. Ina charming summerhouse called The Nest was built for Queen Alexandra on the rockery overlooking the Lake and the Dell. During the reign of King George VI many changes to the garden was made. The labour-intensive parterres and borders, dug up during the Second World War, were replaced by lawns and Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe was employed to create the North Garden. The Royal Stud was established at Sandringham in by Edward, Prince of Wales and soon became highly influential in the development of the national thoroughbred bloodstock.
